It all started out like any other day in Okinawa. It was the first day of my 11th grade year; I met up with my lifelong friend, Machi Araki, at the front gate of our school.

"Hey Akira! Over here!" Mach yelled to her childhood friend

"Hey Machi, how was your summer vacation? Did you meet any cute boys?" I teased

"Well, now that you mention it. . . I saw this really handsome guy at the park one night while I was walking home from my part time job, he was so beautiful! He had long, silky raven hair and such a pale beautiful face. . ." Machi at that point started to go off in her little dream world and started to drool.

"MACHI!! Snap out of it! You are getting drool everywhere" I yelled

"No I am not! Akira don't be mean like that!" she yelled back

"So Akira . . . how is your family doing?"

She hesitated asking me. She knows that it is a touchy subject with me, but I didn't want to answer her. I really didn't want to start off the first day of school on a bad note so I just walked away saying that we were going to be late for Homeroom class.

after school

"Akira!" whined Machi "why do you have to be so anti-social! I know that you don't like to talk to people but come on! That girl was totally crushing on you! You could have at least acknowledged her existence!"

"Because I don't feel like getting into a relationship right now, I don't have any time" I replied back

She gave a defeated sigh and we began to walk home. As we walked Machi started talking about that guy she saw at the park. She said he looked mysterious and that he was the cutest guy she had seen in ages. It really annoyed me, the way she talked about him. It seemed like the more she described him the more I thought he sounded like a bastard. I hated it.

"Machi do you have to keep going on and on about this guy?" I asked irritated

"Yes I do because he was sooo dreamy" she gave a soft sigh and I became sick

"Well I think it sounds suspicious to me. Why would he be in the park so late at night?" I asked

"Now that you mention it, I thought I saw blood on his hands . . ." she said



"What seriously? And you didn't think about that fact while you were idolizing him?" I said

She gave an awkward laugh and, not so gracefully, changed the subject. To my distaste, it was to my family.

"Akira, are things going better for you at home?" she asked with concern in her eyes

"Yes" I said stoically

"Akira, you're lying. You need to speak to them or they won't be able to-"

"It's getting late Machi, and I just remembered that I need to pick up some things. You should hurry home or else you parents might worry" I said

I turned and walked the opposite way. I didn't want to think about my family or hear anyone else talk about them. I stuck my hands in my pockets as I walked down the path in the park. It was a little chilly that night; I had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I realized that this was the park where Machi had seen that beautiful man with the blood on his hands. I began to walk faster not wanting to stay longer than necessary. Having my eyes downcast, I didn't check to see if I was going to run into anything. To my despair I did. I ran in to someone and when I looked up I saw the most beautiful golden eyes.

"Hello there, you must be in a hurry little one" the stranger said with a smirk

I couldn't say anything I could only stare at the beautiful sight before me. A tall man with long flaming red hair, golden eyes, and a pale angelic face was standing in front of me. He had on black leather pants that showed off his slender legs and a black tank top that showed his long pale arms. I could feel my heart beating faster, the stranger was staring at me with intense eyes that made a chill run down my spine.

"If you keep staring at me like that then you are going to make me blush" said the stranger in an embarrassed way

"Oh! I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going, please excuse me" I bowed and tried to leave but he stopped me.

"I'm afraid I didn't catch your name little one" he said gently

He reached out his arms and started to pull me closer to his lips. I blushed a deep red when our lips met for a short kiss.

"I-it's Akira, A-Akira Obata" I stuttered

'I can't believe I told a complete stranger my full name! I should just give him my address too! ARGG! STUPID!'

"Akira, I will be seeing you soon" he smirked then he was gone

After that night I just put the encounter aside in my mind saying that it was only a dream. I mean no that beautiful could really exist right? But, I was wrong. You see I found out that not only was my encounter real but so were vampires. And that they can turn into another animal other than bats. I know what you 

are thinking, 'There are no such things as vampires' or 'Vampires were only a made up story to keep little children in line' but I'm not crazy! A couple of weeks later I found out that the stranger has a strong tie with them, and I also found that out he would became my drug, my 'lover', and my abuser. But little did I know that I would also become the cause of a vampire war that would leave my loved ones in ruins.
